Quick background: I've loved CDDA for years, but every friend I've tried to get into it bounced off the controls and the learning curve. So this year I started making Rotland, a 2D zombie survival sandbox inspired by Cata, with pixel art, modern controls, cleaner menus and a proper tutorial. The goal is to keep that ridiculous depth while making it easier to actually get into.

What's in so far:

- An Earth-sized procedural world with towns, cities, railroads and airports

- 229 building types, 2,400+ items, 500+ pieces of clothing

- Limb damage, bleeding, infections, illness and dismemberment

- Crafting, farming, fishing, construction and skills

- Vehicles built part by part, including mobile bases, plus trains, boats, helicopters and planes

- Fire that spreads, weather, scent, noise and zombie hordes

- Data-driven and built with modding in mind

(This is a updated version of the first trailer I showed before.)

I'm not trying to replace Cata. I've got a ton of respect for everyone who's worked on CDDA and BN. I just wanted something in the same spirit that more people could pick up.

Would love to hear what you think.
